jmelton, that's good info for someone who just started in audio 3 weeks ago.  bridging amp instructions - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.

mcisniper, looks like you might be on a base with some guys who you might be able to trade around with.  The best thing for you to do is use just one of this amp for your front speakers and trade the other one out and get a higher power class A/B stereo or D mono amp for the subs.  Choose an amp whose rated RMS output is close to the sum continuous power handling rating of the subs.  Since your two subs will combine to 4 ohms, look at the bridged (mono) output rating of the A/B amp or the output into 4 ohms for the mono amp.

You could even keep the second amp that you have to clean up the rear sound better than you will be able to get with head unit power.  But you needn't amp the rears unless you particularly want loud sound from behind you.

Choosing the class D amp for the subs will take less power from your vehicle for the same output as class A/B (like you have now).

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Okay, I was wrong. The way I described in my last post (dual tri-mode) would not be the best sounding. It would be the loudest.

The best sounding way would be to power your 2 front door speakers in stereo with the cleanest 2channel amp you have, and having the other amp powering the subs, in stereo also.
